Switzerland, "Money in the Bank" Awe-Inspiring Mostly Mint Collection, 1843-1995, It's not often we see a mint collection of Switzerland with this high rate of completion, because outside of a handful of used early on, it is otherwise entirely mint. Housed in one Swiss-made Biella album with all stamps in mounts, the following is a list of the better as identified by the collector: used #1L2, 2L2, 2L6 (signed twice), 2L7, 2, 3 (with cert), 7, 7a, 7c, 7d (signed), 8 (with cert), 9 (partial frame), 10 (with cert), 11-12 (with certs), 13 (signed), 14 (with cert), 18, 30, 50b (with cert), 63 (signed twice), 66 (with cert), 67-68, 69a-76b (wmk 182, type I), 95c, 107a, 111 (with cert), 201c, and unused 2LU1 (with cert), 25-27, 35 (signed), 36, 38a, 40 (with cert), 41-47, 43a, 43b, 50a (cert), 77 (with cert), 78, 80, 82-88, 82a, 82c, 83b, 84b, 84c, 87b, 87c, 88a, 88b (with cert), 90 (with cert), 92, 94-97, 95c, 105-10, 108a (with cert), 109a-12a, 121a, 125, 132-45, 183-85, 206, 293-305, and many other varieties not listed in Scott, even some modern plate varieties, such as 280 with a spider on the hammer (Zum. 253.2.01), 292 with the "open eye" Apollo (Zum. 261w.3.01), the mysterious speck on 350 dubbed "The Island of Atlantis" (Zum. 319.1.09), and both color shifts on 473 (Zum. 439.1.09 & 439.1.10). This being a collection, we cannot vouch for each and every stamp, but we can say that this collector had an extremely high level of accuracy with the vast majority correctly identified. A lifelong pursuit for completeness and a labor of love, a collection of this caliber doesn't come around often. Some variance in condition, but on the whole Fine to Very Fine, extensively photographed and viewable online. Shipping charges apply - weight 4 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Image)
